“Flowers in a Jug,” created by Augustus John in 1950, is a prime example of Post-Impressionism with a focus on flower painting. This artwork showcases a bouquet of flowers placed in a jug, rendered with loose and expressive brushwork, characteristic of the Post-Impressionist movement. The flowers, predominantly pink in hue, appear to be softly textured, creating a vivid contrast against the rustic background in earthy tones. The jug, with its modest and curvilinear profile, adds a sense of simplicity and elegance, enhancing the overall compositional harmony. The use of warm, subdued colors and intentional brush strokes conveys a sense of intimacy and quietude in the artwork.
